Friendship Fair Returns To Rockville Centre In October

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — The Friendship Fair is returning to Rockville Centre next month. The popular two-day event features various items for purchase.

All funds raised will benefit the Church of the Ascension.

Many goods will be donated for sale, including home decor, antiques, furniture and toys.

The fair that started in 1975 will also have a silent auction for additional browsing, the church said in a statement.

With so many items expected, it will likely spill over to the perimeter of the church.

Visitors will also have options to buy baked goods and can expect a full coffee bar.

This year’s fair coincides with the grand reopening of the "Shop at Ascension," which sells unique goods ranging from gift baskets to vintage items. The store had been closed since the pandemic.

It is scheduled to take place on Oct. 15 and Oct. 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both days.
